Burying the deceased
Question 5: Is burying a Muslim deceased a Fard
(obligatory), Wajib (compulsory) or Sunnah act?
Answer: It is stated in Bahar-e-Shari’at:
It is Fard-e-Kifayah to bury the deceased and it is not permissible to lay the
deceased on the ground and enclose it by all four sides by building a wall
around it. (Bahar-e-Shari’at, vol. 1, pp. 842)
Fard-e-Kifayah refers to that
Fard (obligation) if some of the people perform it, all others become exempted
from performing it. However, if none of those who came to know (about the
demise) performed this (Fard-e-Kifayah) act, then
everyone will become sinner, such as
giving Ghusl to the deceased, burying and performing funeral Salah, etc. (Al-Mabsoot lis-Sarakhsee, vol. 15, pp. 293; Madani Muzakarah, 1st
Muharram-ul-Haraam 1438 AH)

A ruling on Tilawat
(recitation) of the Holy Quran
Question 10: What is the ruling on reciting ‘بِسْمِ اللہِ’
in Surah At-Taubah?
Answer: If you are to start recitation from Surah At-Taubah, recite both ‘اَعُوْذُ بِاللہِ’ and ‘بِسْمِ اللہِ’, otherwise during the recitation it is not necessary to recite ‘بِسْمِ اللہِ’ before Surah At-Taubah. (Bahar-e-Shari’at, vol. 1, pp. 551) However, if someone recites (it), there is no sin.
(In order to know the manners
of Tilawat (recitation) of the Holy Quran, go through the booklet ‘Tilawat
ki Fazeelat’ [Excellence of Reciting the Holy Quran] published by
Maktaba-tul-Madinah). (Madani Muzakarah, 11th
